This piece forms a representation of the female reproductive system and is concerned with infertility, particularly surrounding the menopause, through the process of making tensions are caused by hanging and allowing the fabric to become stretched with the weight of the hoops, I like to use tension in materials to speak of the tension within ourselves. I think of the female reproductive system as a factory that is there to produce and it is a female’s plumbing in a way, I chose the materials for the functional values in this instance. The plumbing poly pipe and wash bag fabric form the empty sterile looking tubes, the disconnected poly pipe suggests a loss of function. The centre circle is a film screen on which my infertility films were played. Two small soap powder bags with a symbol no 0-3 children relates to the fact that infertility means no babies.
